Find Ancient History resources | TPT

If you’re an educator or parent looking for printable or digital resources to help your student learn about ancient history, TPT has got you covered. We’ve got a comprehensive collection of ancient history resources available, including activities and lessons on ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, ancient Rome, ancient China, and ancient Mesopotamia, to name just a few. With plenty of TPT high-quality resources at your fingertips, you’ll be able to teach ancient history to your students with ease.

Ancient history activities to try

Here are a few examples of the different types of activities and lessons you can find on TPT to help teach students about ancient history:

Map Making

With map-making activities you can not only teach students about ancient civilizations, but also incorporate geography into your lessons. As they label and color maps, students can learn about important places in ancient civilizations, chart trade routes, and learn how empires expanded (and fell) over time.

Primary Source Analysis

One of the best ways to learn about ancient civilizations is through the artifacts and writings of people from that particular period of time. Encourage students to analyze primary sources to gain a deeper understanding about bygone eras of history. For instance, you can have students read accounts of the destruction of Pompeii and discuss it as a class.

Centers & Stations

Through the use of centers, students can collaborate and discuss topics and content they examine for each era in history. For example, you can have students navigate through four or five different centers or stations to help them learn about different aspects of Ancient Chinese culture, like literature, geography, government, and major historical events or achievements.

By making ancient history come to life through a variety of interactive and immersive activities, teachers can help students develop a deeper appreciation for the subject.
